…who gets treated better than you do…
Is he the same dumb-ass who asserted that slaves were getting “three square meals a day”?
What if you a cat person?
I was just waiting for this to be bumped. He is a diarrhea stain.
Right? It’s not like they were literally screaming in agony every waking second! I mean, at the end of their 15-hour day of backbreaking labor, they went home to their families! Presuming, of course, that the owner didn’t intentionally separate families, as was common. They laughed, occasionally! They sang songs, like “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot”, about looking forward longingly to the peace and comfort of Death’s embrace!
I just bet he’s referenced in African American History Fail.
They’re not all about the sweet release of death - some of them were about other things, like “Go Down, Moses” which is about manumission. But I’m sure the fact that there are a lot of songs about freedom from slavery is totally coincidental.
It’s like when rock bands sing about sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll. They don’t actually WANT it, it just makes useful rhymes.
In his point about the resilience of the human spirit, he isn’t wrong.
His ability, when he finds himself in a hole, to just continue digging – just remarkable. (To say nothing of his ability to continually find new holes for himself.)
Yeah, but the meaning he derives from that is totally asinine. “People can survive almost anything” - Yes. “Therefore what they lived through wasn’t actually all that bad.” Uh… no. In Aceplace’s mind “slaves had children” = "slaves lived happily with their families.
Oh, no question on both the above points. I think he had the germ of a halfway decent idea somewhere in there, before it was strangled to death in its crib by the dumb.
Holy cow, I’ve been off the Dope for a while, and I come back and find this pitting.
I just have this to say: It’s about fucking time!!!
Soooo many times, I would read one of his “Hey, here’s a link to the Daily Mail” threads and want to go off to the pit and just roast him. But, like many others it seems, I assumed he was just an old geezer with nothing else to do, and really could not be held accountable for his ignorance, so I never pitted him.
Fuck, he is younger than me!! He reminds me of a former neighbor, who back before I abandoned the wasteland that is FaceBook, would post up some stupid ass news story just to get reactions, but then would back away from actually thinking for himself by saying “Hey, I just posting a story”. Problem is, Acey Boy doesn’t stop there. He actually tries to insert some Acey wisdom into it. And therein lies the problem.
He just doesn’t have it. Somewhere upthread someone made a reference to 1942. Yep, it seems like that is before he was born. But that’s where he belongs. Most of what he seems to be okay with was okay then.
Casual incest? Just kids being kids.
Cops chase you and/or shoot and/or kill you? You certainly deserved it.
Woman with nice hooters? Well, it would be rude not to compliment her on them.
Minorities/gays/women not quite equal. Well, it’s worked fine for hundreds of years, why mess with it?
Over 16,000 posts, sigh.
You’re being very generous. Actually, if I hadn’t seen countless similar posts from aceplace, I might suspect him of trolling here.
You guys just wait, he’s gonna nail it with his Jared from Subway thread. Wait for it…
Much ado about nothing. What could be more pure and innocent than little children? Amirite?
Now he is “editing” a photo of some girl off a website called “savageteens.com”
He is gross.
I haven’t seen the thread, but I know which forum to look in.
I’m bringing this back, just to add on this latest perfect example of the kinds of shit aceplace57 loves to post. I swear, I think he just scours the internet for the most titillating tabloid bullshit “news” and then posts it up. Bonus points here since he gets to be Mr Puritan and judge others, all the while extolling the virtues and purity of his own marriage. Extra bonus points for the sneak brag about have “room numbers slipped to me over the years”. Who the fuck does he think he is, Sam Spade??
I endorse this re-animation of this thread, and I further extend this pitting to include also all the busybody jackasses, even here among the Straight Dope Message Board (where we thought we were civilized) who are defending those two stinkin’ nosy twerps.
Here is what I wrote in the that thread:
It’s unfair to label Josh Duggar a paedophile, but it’s perfectly righteous to go about interfering in strangers’ personal relationships. Got it.
